Report claims LG G Flex 2 can be bent up to 90 degrees

A report is claiming that the follow-up to the LG G Flex can
be bent as much as 90 degrees.

This is according to a report from ZDNET Korea. The site
reports, “LG Electronics and LG Display are
developing a ‘bendable’ smart phone, planning a next year release. It will
allow the user to bend up to 90 degrees with force.

“This ‘bendable’ technology
development will be somewhere in between current ‘curved’ technology and ‘foldable’
technology in the future.

“On the 25th (KST), there was
a report that LG Display had already gone into setting plans and schedules for
mass producing the bendable phone, earlier than Samsung Display.

“LG Electronics and LG
Display said that they are working hard to mass produce the display for G Flex
and other products. This will be their weapon and strong point for next year.
They have also said that they’re currently investing a lot in to the curving
technologies.”

Since LG has neither confirmed nor has it denied the report,
treat it like just any other rumour for now. However, since LG did say that
flexible phones would dominate the smartphone market in a few years, we could
see this flexible G Flex next year.

Will LG launch a flexible smartphone in 2014? Let us know
